How One Muslim in Sydney Decided to Wish Australians a Merry Christmas

islam merry xmass

Sometimes one photo really does say it all.

An armed gunman has taken up to 13 people hostage inside a chocolate shop in Sydney while forcing two people to hold what appears to be a black flag with white Arabic writing on it, Sky News Australia reports.

Television footage shot through the store’s windows showed several people with their arms in the air and hands pressed against the glass. The footage showed two people inside the Lindt chocolate shop holding up what appeared to be an Islamic flag.

Zain Ali, the head of the Islamic Studies Research Unit at the University of Auckland, told The Associated Press that it was difficult to read the message because media images showed only the lower part of the flag. But he believed it was the Shahada, or declaration of faith, largely because a black flag with white writing in a contemporary context often contains that message. He said he could make out the word “Muhammad.”

Ali said the Shahada translates as “There is no deity of worship except Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.” It is considered the first pillar of Islam’s five pillars of faith, and has been used by groups like Al Qaeda and Islamic State but wasn’t invented by them, Ali said.

No it was invented by Islam’s original terrorist, Mohammed.

The interesting question will be whether this latest Islamic Jihadist came to Australia as a refugee.  He appears to be African, in his 20s or 30s, which means he might be the child of refugees, or even another convert to Islam. The attacks in the UK and Canada were carried out by converts. It’s quite possible that this fellow has joined that murderous club.

    No doubt we will see many more of these wonderful Christmas Greetings from Islamic Jihadists all around the world. Perhaps we can respond in kind by giving them what they seem to want the most. Either death or a one-way ticket to the Islamic State.

    Thanks for this report. It reminds me the head imam of the largest mosque in Australia declared a fatwa against Christmas two years ago – http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/no-merriness-here-mosque-puts-fatwa-on-christmas-20121222-2bsk2.html

    Of course attacks on the Christians at Christmas (e.g. the underwear bomber, the Christmas-tree lighting ceremony terrorist plot, the Christmas Day terrorist attempt to bomb Paris, etc etc) derive from Islamic teachings, given Islam sees Christmas as a time of the utmost blasphemy.

    5.72 They do blaspheme who say: “Allah is Christ the son of Mary”…

    5.73 They do blaspheme who say: Allah is one of three in a Trinity…verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them.

    [Islam's "grievous penalty" for blasphemy is execution]

    The sin of “shirk” – associating “partners” with Allah, is considered the worst
    (and unforgivable) sin in Islam – punishable with terrorism:

    Koran 3.151 We shall cast TERROR into the hearts of those who disbelieve because they ascribe unto Allah partners, for which no warrant hath been revealed. Their habitation is the Fire, and hapless the abode of the wrong-doers.

    9.30 And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah..ALLAH (Himself) FIGHTETH AGAINST THEM. How PERVERSE ARE THEY!

    Finally, this gem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs5ZdmGNeR8

      I think we can put the fears of Muslims to rest by saying with absolute certainty that the Jesus, the son of Mary was not Allah, that Allah was neither the Father, the Son, nor the Holy Ghost, and that Allah has no partners in heaven or on earth except those who worship Allah and follow the teachings of Allah. Now that we have all that straight, perhaps Muslims will want to go back to those places on earth where Allah, and only Allah, is worshipped and followed. Because clearly they have no place in Western Civilization.

        Well said. And instead of “attacks on the Christians” I should have written “attacks on humanity at Christmas” – because of course Muslims will murder anyone,anywhere, in the vicinity of *anything* to do with Christmas. And although I’m an atheist, for me the Christmas values of ‘Peace, Joy, Goodwill’ make it the most important and inspiring festival in the world.

    Find out who the hostage taker is, gather up their relatives, line them up in front of the store and…open negotiations. Or fire, if the negotiations fail.

  • JR Kipling

    So he is black. As such he is a tiny minority in a overwhelming white nation which he does not feel part of, nor understand, nor have any sympathy with. In fact he feels alienated. Nothing was done to him but he ended up here almost inevitably. Now he has found Islam and Islamn has given meaning to his alienation. That’s the path Diversity takes. Its not “enriching” or “vibrant” . It branches off into lonely a paths of resentment and alienation it ends up in producing hatred, or membership in solidarity groups that have declared war on the larger society, groups that form factions, and voting blocs and terror cells. How this will end is unclear. If these people get out alive it will be against all odds. In any case Australia will never be the same. And no one can say what Australia got in exchange for Diversity and mass immigration except a mindless narrative the vacuous media can feed into their teleprompters.

      As such he is a tiny minority in a overwhelming white nation which he
      does not feel part of, nor understand, nor have any sympathy with.

      Completely false.

      Firstly, as a Muslim he is a supremacist who believe they are superior in every way to the “kufr” (translated as “infidels”, but used by Muslims in the same pejorative sense as “n*gger” or “subhuman”).

      Secondly, Australia is only white in the Outback. In urban centers it is massively multicultural, and gets more so every time I visit Australia (half a dozen times a year, the last visit being a week ago).

      Nothing was done to him but he ended up here almost inevitably.

      More bs projection. He did what he did because the Qur’an and hadiths command him to wage war on infidels. Why do you think he carries the shahada on his headband and forced the flag against the window? because Islam tells him his highest form of service to Allah (a title of the chief Nabatean god Dushara) is to “wage jihad in the way of Allah”.

      So stop projecting your nonsense on to the situation. You are helping the jihadis with concealment when you do this and it is immoral !

      And no one can say what Australia got in exchange for Diversity and mass
      immigration except a mindless narrative the vacuous media can feed into
      their teleprompters.

      The mass immigration was orchestrated by the political Left in order to get an unassailable political base to continue their socialist program. This is why the Left is in an alliance with Islam, and why we are seeing the same thing repeat in country after country – because the Left has chosen power over the people and cultures of the countries of the West.

      Islam is merely a symptom, and is merely doing what it has been doing for the last 1400 years (well, ever since Caliph Abd al-Malik invented its propaganda for political purposes). It is the political Left who are the root cause of this problem and enabling it in the West – and your false guessing as to the cause is helping them!

      • JR Kipling

        Well..so how do we disagree? How many white Australians spontaneously convert to Islam? How much Islam was in Australia before mass immigration? Answer that. Mass immigration is what brought Islam into Australia. And whites (like you?) have yet to confront the rhetoric that says immigration is harmless. You mention Ausrralia is “multicultural” as if that is some kind of achievement. Its not. Any repetition of the Multi Cultural mantra
        without wincing in pain at all the damage it has done is just to be complicit in the destruction.

      • tickletik

        No I don’t see that he is guessing falsely at all.

        If I take someone into a swamp, and then he contracts some disease, is it false to say the swamp contributed the breeding ground for the disease because it was bacteria that killed him?

        Diversity + Proximity -> resentment + hatred

        Multiculturalism may be good or bad, but it comes with costs, just like any complex system comes with a cost. And one of those costs is that you have exploitable tensions that would not exist in a (boring) homogenous society.

        Highly diverse societies have tensions between different social/ethnic groups, resentments b/c some groups don’t do as well as others, as well as groups that are simply attempting to compete and dominate others, and those tensions are exploitable.

        He isn’t wrong.

        • JR Kipling

          Exactly right. Islam is dangerous as it is. Put a black in a white country and watch his failures and resentment end up in his conversion to Islam. Islam promises revenge. Islam gives the sanction of Allah. Islam gives poetry commanding Jihad against non believers..which in the case of the black is everyone around him. Google “Nation of Islam” in the USA. Google Louis Farrakhan. Google Islam Conversion Rate Black Inmates. Finally Google muslim population rate Europe. You will see that Holland had 10…TEN 10 muslims in 1920. In 2020 it will have 1.5 million.. How did it happen.? What disease in white peoples brains command them to commit suicide like this?

          • Moa

            The “disease” the result of “multicultural” policies promoted by Moscow and pushed by the Western Left (academics, media, politicans, unions etc).. Please read “Disinformation” by Lt Gen Ion Mihai Pacepa for the full story (from the inside).

          • JR Kipling

            The KGB has a “Poison Bureau”…they study all kinds of ways to kill people quietly. They discovered ricin, and Polonium 210, they discovered Thalium and of course anthrax but nothing beats the discovery of “Tolerance” which exposed the West to the Islam virus.

        • Moa

          resentment + hatred/blockquote>
          Wrong!

          Stop making excuses for Islam and projecting Western nonsense onto the situation!

          The hatred is in the Qur’an and hadiths, This is why even “educated”, white, rich people who convert commit the same crimes and immigrants. By positing it is something to do with “diversity” you are ignoring and excusing the real problem, the totalitarian political ideology called “Islam” and their allies of the political Left.

          Stop making excuses for jihadis when they say their own motivations is Islam – and Islam alone is the common factor and sufficient explanation.

          • JR Kipling

            Stop making excused for liberal delusion that allowed Islam into the West. Nothing can change Islam. It was WHITE LIBERALS..many of them Jewish that preached “tolerance” and diversity and brought Islam into the West.

  • UCSPanther

    And Australia’s overbearing gun laws were supposed to prevent this. (Sarcasm)

    I wonder when the usual morons are going to come along and say that this is our punishment for supporting Israel….

    • gerry

      Don’t you worry,the usual morons are right now working on it.

  • Matthew Johnston

    Looks 35 not a kid. Probably there are 10 people in the country who can take the shot and hit the cerebral nerve. And one of them would be in TAG East.

  • SoCalMike

    Such a mystery!
    Who could possibly think of holding up a store full of HOLY Day shoppers in the name of their god for the express purpose of subduing infidels?

    • JR Kipling

      For an answer check out the Jihadist websites. Any muslims in Australia are in daily almost hourly contact with their brethren in Syria. A video shot on battlefield with bullets and screams of Allah Akhbar!! will be watched in Australia nearly instantaneously. For muslims in Australia the cry to Jihad is incessant and immediate. They watch their brothers die almost in real time. So..whats the answer? The answer is the forced arrest of every muslim in Australia and the forced deportation to their home countries. Every mosque is to be razed to the ground and every Koran burned. Its that..or more Jihad in Australia.

      I told Lindt I didn’t think it was a good idea for them to do chocolate Muhammeds for Eid-al-Adha.

  • herb benty

    Islam gives the murderer, rapist, child molester, mutilator, crucifier, hanger, slaver, buryer of the living, the perfect cover.

  • Hard Little Machine

    CNN refuses to say what the flag is about and vaguely indicates he has ‘political grievances’.

  • KyraNelson

    Just imagine if ONE of those patrons was carrying a firearm. This would be over with the muzzie’s “brains” on the floor. Now that’s what I call a happy ending. I’m pretty sure this is going to be the jihadist attack that finally fuels global outrage. #chocolate☺️

  • James Foard

    This has nothing to do with Islam.

      You need help.

  • Fed Up

    Well, in the hopes all turns out well I’m somewhat glad this is happening down under. The Aussies are a wonderful and brave people. I think they are most like Americans of any I’ve ever met and I’ve met just about every specimen of humankind in a very diverse S. Florida.

    They went in for Europe’s and the commonwealths’ multi-culti death wish and are leading the way back out of it with no apologies. First was the plot uncovered to kidnap and behead random citizens off the street and now this.

    Now, all they need do is wise up about their utopian notions of gun control and we’ll scarcely ever hear of successful Random Acts of Jihad down under again.
